tispiece by H.C. Edwards. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages. $1.25 An historical tale, dealing with the romantic period of Edward the Black Prince. The scene is laid for the most part in the sunny land of Spain, during the reign of Pedro the Cruel--the ally in war of the Black Prince. The well-told story records the adventures of two young English knight-errants, twin brothers, whose family motto gives the title to the book. The Spanish maid, the heroine of the romance, is a delightful characterization, and the love story, with its surprising yet logical denouement, is enthralling. Punchinello. By FLORENCE STUART. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 325 pages. $1.50 A love story of intense power and pathos. The hero is a hunchback (Punchinello), who wins the love of a beautiful young girl. Her sudden death, due indirectly to his jealousy, and the discovery that she had never faltered in her love for him, combine to unbalance his mind. The poetic style relieves the sadness of the story, and the reader is impressed with the power and brilliancy of its conception, as well as with the beauty and grace of the execution. The Golden Fleece. Translated from the French of Amedee Achard, author of "The Huguenot's Love," etc. Illustrated by Victor A. Searles. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated, 450 pages. $1.50 Amedee Achard was a contemporary writer of Dumas, and his romances are very similar to those of that great writer. "The Golden Fleece" compares favorably with "The Three Musketeers" and the other D'Artagnan romances. The story relates the adventures of a young Gascon gentleman, an officer in the army sent by Louis XIV. to assist the Austrians in repelling the Turkish Invasion under the celebrated Achmet Kiuperli. The Good Ship _York_. By W. CLARK RUSSELL. Author of "The Wreck of the _Grosvenor_," "A Sailor's Sweetheart," etc. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated, 350 pages. $1.50 A romantic and exciting sea tale, equal to the best work of this famous writer, relating the momentous voyage of the clipper ship _York_, and the adventures that befell Julia Armstrong, a passenger, and George Hardy, the chief mate. "Mr. Russell has no rival in the line of marine fiction."--_Mail and Express_. Tom Ossington's Ghost. By RICHARD MARSH. Author of "Frivolities," "Ada Vernham, Actress," etc. Illustrated by Harold Piff
